Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1463 Homeless

"Sister Xiaoli, will Mr. Lu really fire us if he finds out? I'm a little nervous and feel like this matter isn't that simple."

Upon hearing this, Sister Xiaoli's lips curled up into a faint yet confident smile, which seemed to conceal some unknown deeper meaning.

She gently patted her colleague's shoulder, her tone firm and unquestionable: "What are you afraid of? Xiaomei has already left, it's impossible for her to come back and say anything. Even if she says something, no one will believe it. Besides, Mr. Lu is such a smart man, how could he really make a fuss over such a small matter? That scene just now was just for Xiaomei's friends to see, so that they can have an explanation."

"Don't worry, I'm here, no matter how big the problem is, it won't happen to you, trust me."

As she spoke, there was an inexplicable light in Xiaoli's eyes, a kind of calmness and wisdom that came from having experienced the ups and downs of the workplace.

Her colleagues looked at her, and the anxiety in their hearts seemed to be infected by this power and gradually subsided.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he thought that Xiaomei was the sales champion and that President Lu valued her very much. Perhaps this was just a false alarm.

The air around them seemed to change subtly with the conversation between the two, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Here, Xiaomei returned to Lu Feng's villa, with some reluctance and determination in her steps.

She carefully packed her luggage piece by piece. Every time she folded a piece of clothing, it seemed like she was folding a memory of this place.

The villa was kept in perfect order and spotlessly clean by her, and every detail revealed her love and delicacy for life.

However, looking at this neat and orderly space, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She knew that although this place was good, it was no longer her home.

She sighed softly, her eyes moving around the room, finally stopping at the dining table where she and Lu Feng had spent countless warm moments together.

Although she was reluctant to leave, she understood that her departure was to allow Lu Feng to no longer be in a dilemma.

Xiaomei cooked the last meal for Lu Feng.

In the kitchen, she was busy working skillfully, and every movement revealed her cherishment for this relationship.

The aroma of the food gradually spread, but it could not cover up the sadness in her heart.

When the last dish was served on the table, she sat quietly beside it, looking at the delicacies that were the result of her hard work and emotion, and her eyes couldn't help but well up slightly.

After cooking, Xiaomei didn’t stay for long. She just said “goodbye” softly to the air and turned to leave this place full of memories.

Walking on the street, the night is as dark as ink, so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

The neon lights flicker in the darkness, like the stars in the night sky, bright and blurry.

However, this prosperous scene formed a sharp contrast with her inner loneliness.

The crowds were surging, people were rushing through the streets, everyone had their own destination and story.

But she, like a lost child, cannot find her direction in this noisy world.

Once upon a time, no matter how difficult life was, at least there was a home to rely on.

Although that home is not big, it is full of warmth and affection.

However, now she finds that even in such a big city, she cannot find a place to stay.

The tall buildings in the city became cold and distant in her eyes. Pedestrians on the street passed by her, but no one could truly understand her feelings.

She felt like a lonely fallen leaf, drifting in the wind, with nowhere to go.

She wandered aimlessly, her heart filled with confusion and regret.

Once upon a time, she resolutely left her familiar and warm hometown because of a momentary impulse, and embarked on the road to this metropolis without hesitation.

However, when she was actually in this bustling and noisy city, she realized how small and helpless she was.

The streets here are wide and crowded, with tall buildings standing side by side, cars and people rushing around. It seems that everyone has their own destination and pace of life, but she is like a child lost in this bustling world, unable to find her own direction.

The size of the city made her feel more lonely than ever before. In this strange environment, she had no relatives, friends, or even someone to talk to.

Whenever night falls, she walks alone on the brightly lit streets, looking at the warm lights shining through the windows on the street, and an irrepressible feeling of loneliness and homesickness surges in her heart.

Moreover, the indifference of this city also made her feel chilled.

Here, the relationships between people seem to have become extremely indifferent. Everyone is only concerned with their own lives, and few people will take the initiative to care about others.

She once tried to establish connections with people around her, but often received only cold responses or perfunctory attitudes.

Nowadays, she often regrets her decision and misses every detail of her hometown.

There were the streets she was familiar with, friendly neighbors, and a warm home.

However, time cannot be reversed, she can only move forward in this big city, trying to adapt to the life here and find a place of her own.

She couldn't help but begin to miss the mountains and rivers of her hometown, the simple and kind people, and the simple and pure happiness.

However, now that you have chosen this path, you can only go on bravely.

Xiaomei took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her back, and continued on her journey to find her own future.

Xiaomei walked alone in this strange city. The night wind was as sharp as a knife, mercilessly penetrating her thin clothes and freezing her feet so much that they ached, as if even her bones were being corroded by the cold.

She tightened her coat around herself, trying to keep out the biting cold, but it seemed in vain.

Every step seemed particularly heavy, as if the road underfoot had become long and difficult in the cold wind.

Finally, she could no longer bear the fatigue and cold, so she walked to a bench on the street and slowly sat down.

The chair was cold, but it was much better than the endless cold wind.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to find a little peace for her wandering heart.

The world around me seemed to be still at this moment, only

The whistling wind still echoes in my ears, as if telling of the indifference and ruthlessness of this city.

After resting for a while, Xiaomei stood up again. She knew that she couldn't sit there like this forever.

She had to find a place to stay, a place where she could temporarily escape from the cold and loneliness.

So she continued her journey of searching, traveling through the streets and alleys of the city.

Finally, deep in a dim alley, she found a dilapidated little hotel.

The hotel's facade is mottled and dilapidated, as if telling the vicissitudes and helplessness of time.

But at this moment, for Xiaomei, this is a place where she can temporarily settle down.

A fat middle-aged woman was sitting at the front desk of the small hotel. Her face was full of flesh and there was a bit of worldly cunning in her eyes.

A handful of melon seeds in my hand made a crackling sound, and the sound was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

She looked Xiaomei up and down, as if she wanted to find out her background and identity.

"Little girl, are you staying here?"

Xiaomei nodded.

"How many people?"

"Boss, I'm alone."

"Alone?" The aunt's voice was a little impatient, but also mixed with a hint of curiosity.

Xiaomei nodded, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and gently handed over her ID card.

Her fingers trembled slightly, not because of the cold, but because she felt a little uneasy about the unknown that might happen next.

"Um, boss, how much is it per night?" She tried to make her voice sound calm.

The old lady glanced at Xiaomei, cracked a melon seed, and then slowly said, "80, do you want to stay here?" Her tone was filled with unquestionable arrogance.

"So expensive?" Xiaomei was shocked. This kind of shabby hotel only costs 10 or 20 yuan a night in the nearby city.

She couldn't help but frown, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

However, on this cold and windy night, she really had no more choice.

The aunt seemed to see through her thoughts and sneered, "You think it's too expensive? Then go look somewhere else to see if there's a cheaper one. But I can tell you, there aren't many hotels around here, and at this time, they might all be closed."

Xiaomei bit her lip, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that she couldn't just sleep on the streets like this, and she couldn't let this old lady look down on her.

So she took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more determined: "Okay, 80 is 80, I'll stay for one night."

The aunt nodded with satisfaction and said, "Give me your ID card."

Xiaomei gave her her ID card, and the boss reached out to take it and started to check her in.

Xiaomei stood aside, secretly thanking her lucky stars that she had finally found a temporary haven in this strange city.

Although this place is shabby, it at least gives her a place to stay on this cold night.

"OK, the formalities are done, let's pay." The boss lady tapped the table with her chubby fingers, and her eyes revealed a hint of impatience, as if every extra second of waiting was a great disrespect to her.

Xiaomei took out a brand new hundred-dollar bill from her pocket and gently placed it on the table.

When the boss lady saw this, a hint of greed flashed in her eyes. She quickly snatched the money from Xiaomei's hand. She moved so quickly, as if she was afraid that Xiaomei would suddenly change her mind.

Then, she narrowed her eyes and examined the bill carefully, fearing that she had received a counterfeit.

After confirming everything was correct, she slowly took out a room card from the drawer and threw it on the table: "Here, this is your room card, room 302. Check out before noon tomorrow. If you check out more than ten minutes later, you will have to pay for the next day's room."

Xiaomei nodded, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.

She took the room card and turned to leave, but she heard the boss lady add, "Also, this is an old house, the door doesn't work very well, you might wake up at night, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"By the way, little girl, I have something to remind you, ..."

Just as Xiaomei turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly heard the voice of the boss lady behind her.

The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried a majesty and mystery that could not be ignored.

Xiaomei stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see the boss lady standing behind the counter with a serious expression on her face, even revealing a hint of worry.

"what happened?"

"Little girl," the boss lady looked at the girl in front of her seriously and said earnestly,

"This is a slum area, not a safe place. At night, it becomes very chaotic here, and all kinds of people appear, some good, some bad. It's too dangerous for a girl like you to walk here alone! So, you must be extra careful and pay attention to your own safety!"

There seemed to be something unknown hidden in her tone, which made Xiaomei feel alert.

The boss lady paused for a moment and then continued, "No matter who knocks on the door, if you don't want anything to happen, don't open it. Just pretend that you don't live there, okay?"

"why?"

"I've already warned you, it's up to you whether you listen or not, this is not a joke. If anything goes wrong, I can't take the responsibility! I won't be responsible."

After saying that, the boss lady even looked at Xiaomei deliberately, as if to confirm whether she really understood what she meant.

These words were like a cold current that instantly made Xiaomei shiver all over.

She stared at the boss lady with wide eyes in horror, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"What? Boss, you...what did you just say? Someone knocks on the door at night? What...what is going on? Who are those people?"

Her face was full of astonishment and her voice was trembling. She seemed to be very shocked and frightened by what her boss said.

She tried hard to get more information from the boss lady to calm her anxious heart.

The boss lady just curled her lips, with a barely perceptible cunning flashing in her eyes: "Humph, don't ask any more questions. Anyway, remember my words, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't open the door. This area is not peaceful, there are people who specifically target girls like you who come from other places."

After saying that, the boss lady stopped talking and turned around to continue cracking her melon seeds, as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant chat.

But Xiaomei stood there, her heart filled with unprecedented fear and anxiety.

She didn't know whether the boss lady's words were exaggerated, but in this strange city, she would rather choose to believe it than put herself in any possible danger.

She held the room card tightly in her hand, as if it was her only support at the moment.

Her steps up the stairs became heavier, and each step seemed to remind her that in this strange place, she must always remain vigilant to ensure her own safety.

She is considering whether to live here.

The boss saw what she was thinking and spoke...
